Life Tips

Safety Precautions

WARNING

READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE. WHEN USING THIS APPLIANCE, ALWAYS EXERCISE BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

NOTE

If the refrigerator/freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
• This refrigerator/freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
• This refrigerator/freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
• Never unplug your refrigerator/freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
• DANGER - Risk of Fire or Explosion. Flammable refrigerant used. Do not use mechanical devices to defrost the refrigerator. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.
• If your old refrigerator/freezer is not being used, we recommend removing the doors to reduce the possibility of danger to children.
• WARNING: After your refrigerator/freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
• Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 states: "...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40°F".
• "...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."
• "...Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of their eating quality as you can."
• Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.
• Unplug your refrigerator/freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
• Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician perform service.
• Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

CAUTION - RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION

Dispose of property in accordance with Federal or Local Regulations. Flammable refrigerant used.

DANGER

Installing Your Refrigerator

Unpacking Your Refrigerator

1. Remove all packaging material, including foam base and adhesive tape holding accessories inside and outside.
2. Inspect and remove any remaining packing, tape, or printed materials before powering on the refrigerator.

CAUTION: Risk of Fire or Explosion due to puncture of refrigerant tubing. Flammable refrigerant used. Handle with care when moving the refrigerator to avoid damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

Leveling Your Refrigerator

Your refrigerator has two leveling legs located in the front bottom corners. After placing the refrigerator in its final position, you can level it. Leveling legs can be adjusted by turning them counterclockwise to raise the refrigerator or clockwise to lower it. The refrigerator door will close easier when the leveling legs are extended.

Proper Air Circulation

To ensure your refrigerator operates at maximum efficiency, install it in a location with proper air circulation, plumbing, and electrical connections. Recommended clearances around the refrigerator:

• Sides: 3/4" (19mm)
• Top: 2" (50mm)
• Back: 2" (50mm)

Electrical Requirement - Shock Hazard

Electrical Requirement

Ensure a suitable power outlet (120 volts, 15 amps) with proper grounding is used. Avoid using three-prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong to fit a two-prong outlet, as this is dangerous and provides no effective grounding, potentially resulting in a shock hazard.

Use of Extension Cords - Potential Safety Hazard

Avoid using extension cords due to potential safety hazards. If an extension cord is necessary, use only a 3-wire extension cord with a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet. The cord's rating must be equal to or greater than the appliance's electrical rating. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORDS LONGER THAN 12 FT.

Installation Limitations

Do not install your refrigerator in any location that is not properly insulated or heated, such as a garage. Your refrigerator is not designed to operate in temperatures below 55° Fahrenheit.

Select a suitable location on a hard, even surface, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances). Correct any floor unevenness using the leveling legs.

Refrigerator Features and Use

Adjustable Temperature Dial

Your refrigerator will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The temperature control dial has 7 settings plus 0. Setting 1 is the warmest, and 7 is the coldest. Turning the dial to 0 stops cooling in both the refrigeration and freezer sections. Initially, set the dial to 4 and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs.

NOTE: If the refrigerator/freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

Refrigerator Interior Shelves

1. Gently tilt the shelf up and slide forward until the shelf has been completely removed.
2. To replace the shelf, gently slide the shelf back.

Using the Dispense-A-Can

Your refrigerator is equipped with the convenient "Dispense-A-Can" compartment. Each compartment holds up to six cans. Load cans from the top. To dispense a can, simply draw one out from the bottom. It's that easy.

Diagram Description: Illustrates the "Dispense-A-Can" feature, showing cans being dispensed from the bottom.

Crisper

Your refrigerator has a clear crisper. Grasp the top of the crisper and gently slide it out. Push back to replace.

Defrosting Your Refrigerator

For maximum energy efficiency, defrost the freezer section whenever frost accumulates to a thickness of 1/4" or more on the freezer walls. Note that frost tends to accumulate more during the summer months.

DANGER: Risk of Fire or Explosion due to puncture of refrigerant tubing. Flammable refrigerant used. Do not use metal instruments to defrost the refrigerator. Do not puncture refrigerant tubing.

To defrost the freezer: Remove food and ice cube tray from the freezer section. Turn the temperature control dial to the "0" position. Defrosting may take a few hours. To speed up defrost time, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm water in the freezer.

During defrosting, water will accumulate. Use a towel to wipe off excess dripping water. Do not leave unattended.

After defrosting, empty and wipe down the interior of the freezer. You may then reset your refrigerator to the desired temperature and return food.

Your freezer has been equipped with an ice scraper for your convenience.
